Burnwine is what would be a direct translation of the word norwegians, swedes and most likely allso danes use for alcohols such as vodka and rum.

Edit:

Might aswell allso add that caraway is a plant/a herb. It's fruits are used as a spice and it tastes much like anise.According to the descriptions in this item's name this booze would be very much like ouzo.

This is based on the Icelandic alcohol Brennivín, which is a type of high alcohol schnapps made from caraway seed. Like tenacious said, the word translates as burnwine and is a term in most Nordic languages for strong schnapps.

And just for the record, it tastes awful. I have a bottle right here, and it's almost too nasty to drink.

Burn Your Care Away Wine is what I think they attempted to do with this. Not sure, if I'm right but it just makes sense to me.

Brännvin, a Swedish word; the Norwegian word Brennevin; the Danish word Brændevin and the Finnish word (palo)viina, are general terms for distilled beverages from potatoes, grain and formerly wood cellulose, which may or may not be flavored. This includes akvavit and vodka. The name "brännvin" means "burnwine", the Finnish equivalent means "burn liquor"; sometimes the distillation of beverages is called "burning". It has the same linguistic roots as the English brandy and the German term Branntwein, which originally had same meaning like its Scandinavian counterpart.

Cheap, easy to make during Prohibition and still occasionally homebrewed, a.k.a. "Hembrännt" ~=~ "Home-burnt".

You could possibly get me to drink this if I was out in the field or mountains or woods and hadn't had anything to drink for a few weeks. Yuck!

"Yeah boy, that'll put some hair on yer chest and make ya a man! Ahahahahaaa!"
